Birds Hill Triathlon
Triple Threat Triathlon Club is excited to host the first outdoor triathlon of the 2025 Triathlon Manitoba season.
Challenge a Triathlon, Duathlon, Aquabike or Try-a-Tri at Birds Hill Provincial Park East Beach on June 8th.
Events to choose from:
Race Day Check-in and Transition will open at 6:00 a.m. and will close at 7:00 a.m. The first event starts at 7:45 a.m.
Due to requirements of the Park, the bike course must close at 10:00 a.m. Therefore the last loop of the bike course must be started before 9:40 a.m. After 9:40 a.m., participants will be instructed to either end their race or remove their bib and timing chip to continue the course. If continuing on the course, athletes will do so at their own risk and will not be considered part of the race. Results will show Did Not Finish (DNF) for the race.
Athletes of all abilities or gender-identity are welcome to compete at the Birds Hill Triathlon.
In the case of severe circumstances (i.e. pandemic, lightening, high winds, flooding, and other natural events) the race(s) may be modified or cancelled if athlete safety is at risk. In the event the weather is not suitable for swimming, the race may be changed to a duathlon. In the case of race cancellation, registration fees will not be refunded.

Peace Garden Triathlon
The best course in Manitoba isn’t actually in Manitoba*
If you haven’t yet been out to the Peace Garden event, you’re missing something truly special. Triathlon takes over the Garden for one weekend a year, with participants enjoying the most amazing triathlon playground you could imagine. Even the campground is a dream, or there are the dorms which will be full of other triathletes to hang out with all weekend.
Need more convincing? Check out Photos from previous years.
Two days of great racing in a venue that’s perfect for triathlon.
Day 1 features the Mixed Relay, which has been one of the most enjoyable additions to Triathlon in ages – if you haven’t tried one, you’re missing out. The race involves four racers, each doing a shorter swim/bike/run race, then handing off to the next member of their team. Here’s what it looks like for Triathlon – also note the bonus points for Tyler’s greatest beach dive of all time!**
What makes it better still at the Peace Garden? You get to choose your team – family, friends, fastest people you know or funniest people you know, pick the team you want to be on. The course distance for each relay leg is suitable for ages 12 and up, so even younger families can compete. One of you doesn’t swim – that’s fine too, just get someone else to swim twice. Four little triathlons, however you want to do it – that’s the Peace Garden Mixed Relay!
“Won’t Someone Think of the Children!”
The mixed relay course is a similar distance to those used for 12 & older Kids of Steel races. The course features a challenging bike and deep water swim, so it’s not a course we’d recommend for a younger athlete’s first triathlon participation, but most athletes that age or older should be comfortable competing.
“Day Two – This Time It’s Personal”
Day two features individual racing, with triathlon and duathlon options, over the Sprint or Olympic distances. You’ll know the swim, bike and run terrain quite well from hopefully having raced the day prior, which means you can enjoy the challenge of a few more km in this beautiful venue and maybe even push yourself to a new level.
This year’s Sprint Triathlon will be the Provincial Championship as well as a World Qualifier event, where the top age group female and male athletes can make their way onto the Canadian Age Group World Championship Team, for the 2026 World Triathlon Championship Final held in Pontevedra, Spain.
However you choose to participate, we’re sure you won’t find a better way to spend August long weekend than racing and playing the International Peace Garden.
To be eligible for World Championship Qualification in the Sprint Triathlon, you must complete an Expression of Interest PRIOR to the event on August 3rd. That expression must be submitted within the three weeks prior to the event and a link to do so will be added to this page once available.
* – While the International Peace Garden isn’t in Manitoba or Canada, it isn’t in the US either. You’ll exit Canadian Customs, but you never pass through US Customs. It’s sort of like a duty free area at an airport. You’ll need a passport or other suitable ID to return to Canada, but that’s it.
** – That’s a professional athlete on a closed course. Do NOT try that at home!
Riding Mountain Triathlon
Riding Mountain Triathlon is the premier destination multi-sport event on the prairies. Located in beautiful Riding Mountain National Park, where out of the never-ending wheat fields emerges one of Canada’s best-kept secrets.
The multi-sport weekend is designed for all levels of competitors with
Olympic, Sprint and Super Sprint distance races.
All athletes will benefit from the partners of the Riding Mountain Triathlon, with SWAG coming to ALL athletes in their race kits, as well as inclusion into MANY draw prizes at the awards ceremony.
Post race food for ALL athletes will be catered by Sporty’s Restaurant and Pizzeria (a large variety of food at the finish line!)
The Riding Mountain Triathlon is sanctioned by Triathlon Manitoba and follows their minimum age requirements. An athlete’s age is determined by their age as of December 31, of the current year.
Age requirements per event are:
• Olympic Triathlon and Aquabike – 18 years of age +
• Sprint Tri, Aquabike & Du – 16 years of age +
• Super Sprint – 12* years of age +
(All athletes 12-15 must be proficient swimmers and training in certified triathlon or swimming programs to be allowed to compete as you will be in very deep water and on busy Hwy’s)
• Relay participants – 14 years of age +
**Please note: There are no exceptions to these age restrictions.**
